As a Wikipedia article on a saint, this seems to be strangely lacking in palpable implausibilty and blatant editorial credulity. What am I going to complain about? Two minor things:
- The half-translated name seems odd. The Book of Saints ISBN 0-304-34357-9 lists him as Anthony Mary Zaccaria, which I find more natural.
- The failure of his body to decompose as quickly as one would expect, presented as a fact, really ought to be sourced.

[edit] Comments on SAMZ article
I would agree, this is a rather sober account of the saint's life considering various miraculous events that could be recounted. The Barnabites would use either St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria (english) or S. Antonio Maria Zaccaria (Italian).
As to the incorruption of the body of the Holy Founder a more detailed research of the documents prepared for his canonization will reveal such corroborating testimony.
More later ....
